The remote control is slightly different from other high-end Samsung TVs; however, the button layout is the same. There are dedicated buttons to access Netflix, Prime Videos, and Samsung TV Plus, as well as a button for the ambient mode, which displays pieces of art or photos when the TV isn’t in use. The remote is advertised to have IP56 water resistance, but it isn’t something that we test.
There’s a built-in microphone for voice control. Changing settings and general inquiries, like asking for the weather, work well. You can launch an app like YouTube with voice command, but content search depends on the app, as we weren’t able to perform a search on Netflix.
The remote can be used as a universal remote control for other devices, even if the device doesn’t support CEC.
